So, I’ve been getting skinnier. I’m seven kilos lighter actually. My journey following the Michelle Bridges 12 Week Body Transformation program began just over a month ago and I have two to go. I am not doing everything she says to, but it has helped me set personal goals and stick to them. It is helping me to no longer listen to my self doubt, nor make excuses for my unhealthy ways. It is helping me find me again. I still have a long way to go, but I’m getting there.
I’d also set myself an aim – one month booze free. It was tough at times, but I DID IT! I made up for it though with a BIG night. It started all cultured-like at the Art Gallery with friends, drinking bubbles and admiring the Saatchi Gallery modern art exhibition. I looked pretty good too, I thought.
It ended with pints of Coopers Pale Ale at my university hang-out, The Exeter. Also known as The Excreter if you’re from Adelaide. It’s dirty, full of students and oldies like me reliving their glory days, stinks of stale beer, plays great music and feels like home. It also has this way of sucking you into the booze vortex.
Surprisingly, I didn’t feel too bad the next day, but I was a couple of kilos heavier from all the beer and pizza and felt a sense of disappointment at knowing all my hard work of the week prior was unravelling. Luckily for me, a dodgy fish pattie gave me gastro so I’m back on track again! I’m also back off the booze and focussed on losing more weight. The diet regime is starting to feel normal and I am starting to notice a change in my body shape. Not that I’m saying it’s easy – it’s really hard to fight your own urges. Man, I would even pash Kyle Sandilands if it meant I could eat a schnitzel with pepper sauce and mashed potato and two servings of homemade chocolate self-serving pudding with King Island double cream. Alas he lives in knob land.
Anyway, better get back to my carrot sticks and skinny flat white.
Is there something you’re working hard at at the moment?
Hi, I'm Bianca Wordley, I write about life.
Go you good thing! I am only two weeks into this and this weekend has been very tough for many personal reasons. Thankfully I used my angst at a boxing class instead and didn’t dive into the chocolate. Reading this is what keeps me motivated, you’re looking and clearly feeling so much better. Good on you x
Wow! Awesome results. You did so well with the booze freeze. My willpower got the better of me after a week. I’m also not doing everything she says, but seeing a big difference in the changes I have made. Heaps more energy too. Really well done Bianca!
Well done well done well done! I’m very impressed inded. x
7 kilos is a HUGE amount of weight to lose in a month. Go you! Love the pic, very pretty.
Wow go you! 7 kilos is amazing in a month, as is staying on the wagon. xx
Such an awesome effort! Well done!
yay for you that’s a fantastic achievement.
That’s way cool lady!! Well done to you. I to have refrained from any alcohol consumption for a while now. I’ve found that because of my weight loss lifestyle I’ve become an anxious drinker. As in constantly aware of the empty calories I’m consuming. This sucks because dang I like to party. However when I do drink (which is a rare occassion) I am the cheapest date out. Right on!!
So good to hear that you are finding a good groove! xx
Well done, you. And I LOVE that pic of you. VERY stylish…Audrey Hepburn kinda thing.
I’m trying to get healthy. I’ve been doing some walks on the treadmill and today I rode about 10kms on my bike. Which isn’t that far, but the biggest bike ride I’ve done in…too long to know. Also, even though I could have picked up the phone to ring the school about a few questions I had, I walked down there instead. It’s just down the end of the street, but it’s making decisions like this that counts! Right?

7kgs!! Well done. So you’re just a shadow of your former self? And if you rocked up at my checkout I wouldn’t recognise you….
Seven kilos! You go girl!! Maybe I should’ve done that challenge too.
